KDE-France held a booth at the Solutions Linux 2003 show in Paris recently. For an account of our activities as well as some pictures, be sure to check out our report. Interesting items include: details of the team, promoting KDE with a remastered version of Knoppix, Richard Stallman's hour-long visit to the booth and test-drive of KDE 3.1, an analysis of our userbase and more.

Thanks for that very lively and interesting report. I would have loved to be there. Well done to Gérard for invinting RMS and presenting him the latest KDE brew. The French KDE team did very well to promote KDE to the show. I hope Mandrake will survive, it's so nice to have a French based distro. And again a big "BRAVO" to the French KDE team.

This picture was on traduc.org's booth. It is an organization about translating free software into french.
There was a challenge to find the best franch translation for "root me".
The winner won the picture

For the record, I won the poster thanks to my translation "Prends les droits !". Unfortunately, this day I had to leave a bit early and I wasn't able to go and check if I had won. I then met the guy from Traduc.org (Cheyenne) 2 days later at Fosdem, we were in the same youth hostel. He told me that the guy who won never came to get his price. I asked about the translation that won, he replied "Prends les droits !". I went : "That's me, just check the name of the guy on the list, that's me !".
He said he will look into it and send me the poster. Great ! Unfortunately, I was told lately that he forgot it at FOSDEM :( Too bad....
That's one more reason to go back to FOSDEM next year ;)
